Reseña del libro "FORTIOS 8 SECURE NETWORKING IN PRACTICE (en Inglés)"
FORTIOS 8 SECURE NETWORKING IN PRACTICE is a hands-on, production-focused guide to designing, securing, automating, and operating modern FortiGate environments with FortiOS 8.Rather than treating FortiGate as a simple firewall, this book shows how to build a complete secure networking platform using real-world architecture, practical configuration, controlled failure testing, troubleshooting, validation, and recovery.You will learn how to deploy and harden FortiGate, design segmented networks with VLANs and zones, build least-privilege firewall policies, configure NAT and VIPs, apply FortiGuard security profiles, and use SSL/TLS inspection, IPS, antivirus, application control, DNS filtering, web filtering, and AI-aware application controls.You will also build resilient multi-site connectivity with dual-WAN Secure SD-WAN, performance SLAs, BGP, OSPF, route-based IKEv2 IPsec VPNs, FortiGate high availability, and post-quantum VPN readiness.The book then moves beyond traditional network access into modern Zero Trust architecture using FortiClient, FortiClient EMS, device posture, endpoint certificates, Universal ZTNA, MFA, identity-aware policies, FortiSASE, private application access, and secure remote-workforce design.For larger environments, you will learn how to operate FortiGate at scale with FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer, centralize policies and logs, investigate incidents, detect configuration drift, and automate infrastructure using the FortiOS REST API, Python, Terraform, Ansible, and Git-based change control.Cloud and hybrid deployments are also covered, including FortiGate-VM architecture, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, centralized monitoring, Security Fabric integration, backup, disaster recovery, and production-readiness validation.What You Will LearnDeploy and harden FortiGate and FortiGate-VM with FortiOS 8Design secure VLAN, zone, DMZ, guest, IoT, server, and management networksBuild least-privilege firewall policies, NAT, VIPs, and segmentationConfigure IPS, antivirus, application control, DNS/web filtering, and TLS inspectionSecure SaaS, generative AI, MCP, A2A, and modern application trafficBuild dual-WAN Secure SD-WAN with performance-based failoverDeploy BGP, OSPF, ECMP, and route-control policiesBuild secure IKEv2 site-to-site and remote-access VPNsConfigure FortiGate HA and test real failover behaviorUnderstand ML-KEM, hybrid key exchange, and post-quantum VPN readinessDeploy FortiClient, EMS, endpoint posture, MFA, and Universal ZTNAIntegrate FortiGate with FortiSASE and secure remote users and branchesManage FortiGate fleets with FortiManagerCentralize logging, monitoring, threat hunting, and incident analysis with FortiAnalyzerAutomate FortiOS using REST APIs, Python, Terraform, Ansible, and GitDesign FortiGate-VM deployments for AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and hybrid networksDetect configuration drift, perform backup and recovery, and validate production readinessBuild a complete end-to-end FortiOS 8 secure enterprise network in the final capstone projectThis book is ideal for network engineers, security engineers, firewall administrators, infrastructure engineers, system administrators, cloud engineers, consultants, NetDevOps professionals, advanced homelab users, and anyone responsible for deploying or operating Fortinet FortiGate environments.If you want a practical FortiOS 8 guide that goes beyond basic firewall configuration and teaches you how to build, secure, automate, troubleshoot, and operate FortiGate in real production environments, this book provides the complete hands-on path from initial deployment to full-stack enterprise implementation.
